Those prices were never set in stone. Add $5k to those prices by the time production actually starts. I wouldn't be surprised if it was even more. The only saving grace is hopefully the new EV Bill passes and gives Tesla its Federal Credit back.My personal opinion, and I have been expecting this, is that they can’t hold that $39k, $49k, $69k pricing any longer.
Apparently not for the vehicle price according to the contract but for the FSD price, yes.Actually, I think this means the price has increased. Seeing how everything is shooting up in price, they may change the price for all orders after this. But not ours, these are set in stone.
Right??
It’s not just the pricing that’s gone though, most of the specs specific to the three configurations are gone too. There used to be a table with all the differences. It doesn’t even say “Tri Motor” ”Dual Motor” or “Single Motor” anywhere on the page anymore. There are no longer ranges or separate capacities listed either, just some more generic “Up to 3500 pounds capacity…”.
Also, the option to change your existing configuration was removed from the account page.
My feeling is the specs are going to change significantly based on the beta trucks or some additional engineering/ design work they have done.
@rr6013 "Hit the nail on head!" if I can add to it "Take a number sit down and wait. Congress might pull there head out and figure out this EV bill before you get your truck and that's saying something. So get comfy?, it's going to be a minute or two or three or four or"....?This means that the launch party is officially over.
The Latest RN’s will be ordering after the launch ended. The number of Cybertruck orders ahead of these Jonny come lately’s (1M+) are so many years out that both cost and configuration are indeterminable even by specification. So its “Take a number”…
Who, knows. But speculation is they’ll release the tri motors first. And I got a dual motor. Now I want the tri motor but do not want to lose any spots in-line. Especially if that’s not true. Put my order in when Elon said pre reservations are now openWonder what this means (if anything)... there's no more configurations listed and available to choose from on the Cybertruck ordering page. This is what appears now.

Pretty sure you don’t put the big deposit down until you are near shipping. I thought 3-4 months from delivery was typical. They definitely wouldn’t be taking the full 2500 from someone 1.5m down the list.Maybe they have nailed down the specifications and need to determine which orders are real and we will be contacted to place a $2500?? real deposit down?
Tesla will improve on everything that GM has ever thought about. I doubt they will adopt 4 motors. I don't see the benefit and they won't be carrying around more mass to have it turned on with a subscription upgrade.May be they realized Rivian in on to something with a motor for each wheel and changed the design. They already picked up the rear wheel steering from GM. This will streamline production which we already know it’s efficiency is important to Tesla. They may disable motors or reduce power by software to accommodate your trim choice.
Tesla has gotten used to the taste of high margin. It is a business. What business man would sell something at a lower price when they don’t have enough of it to sell at higher price. We need to get real and stop the wishful thinking, specially in this kind of market.
